In 2020 dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the ever-present solvent for tin halide perovskites, was identified as an oxidant for Sn . Nonetheless, alternatives are lacking and few efforts have been devoted to replacing it. To understand this trend it is indispensable to learn the importance of DMSO on the development of tin halide perovskites. Its unique properties have allowed processing compact thin-films to be integrated into tin perovskite solar cells. Creative approaches for controlling the perovskite crystallization or increasing its stability to oxidation have been developed relying on DMSO-based inks. However, increasingly sophisticated strategies appear to lead the field to a plateau of power conversion efficiency in the range of 10-15 %. And, while DMSO-based formulations have performed in encouraging means so far, we should also start considering their potential limitations. In this concept article, we discuss the benefits and limitations of DMSO-based tin perovskite processing.

Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells have attracted considerable attention owing to their high power conversion efficiency (PCE), which exceeds the limits of single-junction devices. This study focused on lead-free tin-based perovskites with iodine-bromine mixed anions. Bromide perovskites have a wide bandgap; therefore, they are promising light absorbers for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells.

The title compound, di-μ-hydroxido-bis-[iodido-diphenyl-tin(IV)]-1,3-di-methyl-imidazolidin-2-one (1/2), [Sn(CH)I(OH)]·2CHNO, represents only the second example in the dimeric diorganotin(IV)-hydroxide-halide solvates [ Sn(OH)]·2 with = I. As is usual for this class of compound, dimerization takes place the oxygen atoms of the hydroxyl groups and leads to a planar, centrosymmetric, four-membered Sn-O ring of rhomboidal shape whose Sn-O distances [2.024 (2)/2.

Chronic wound infections driven by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria continue to challenge modern medicine. This study introduces "Novostron", an innovative topical iodine-based formulation incorporating dextrin and metal halides designed to overcome the limitations of existing antiseptics, such as volatility and cytotoxicity. The complex's physicochemical properties were analyzed using infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, alongside thermogravimetric analysis, confirming its stability and robust iodine retention.

Chiral organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have emerged as a promising class of materials for spin-controlled optical and optoelectronic effects and related applications. Chiral hybrid metal halides generally crystallize in non-helical space groups. Herein, we report the discovery of zero-dimensional (0D) chiral (R/S-MBA)SnBr (MBA: methylbenzylammonium cation) single crystals with enantiomorphic lattice helicity.
